I am so excited about the 70's trend right now. Boho dresses, fringe, wide brim hats, flare jeans - what a fun decade of fashion!
The trick to pulling off this trend - or any flashback fashion look - is to stick to one main piece & keep your accessories modern. You want to emulate the time period, not look like you're actually from it.
When purchasing this pair of flares, I knew I wanted the extra length so I could wear them with heels/wedges to really elongate my legs, but I struggled trying to figure out exactly how long they should be.
At 5'4, I usually fit perfectly into a 'regular' inseam at around 32 inches. However, I usually purchase jeans in the 'short' length because I love having my ankles peeking out at the bottom.
I decided to try ordering my usual waist size from American Eagle (my favorite place to shop for jeans) in the 'long' inseam length. They fit perfectly! This inseam added between 3-4 inches which works perfectly with my platforms.
Moral of the story - instead of searching the internet for weeks wondering what brand & inseam will fit you, try a brand whose regular inseam you fit into in the 'long' length. Same fit in the waist with just a few more inches tacked onto the end!

I adore their jeans! They always fit perfectly!
DeleteYes! When doing a trend, it's always best to focus on that one piece, let the statement trend piece make the statement. I love how you kept it neutral-y here, the jeans are such a statement. I love it!

DeleteOh my gosh I love this outfit! The top is super cute, and I actually have a pair of jeans that are pretty much exactly the same as yours at the bottom of my wardrobe somewhere!! I'll be pulling these out soon :)
